The Michael Teachings is a body of channeled New Age spiritual doctrine that originated in the early 1970s as a 'conversation' via a Ouija board between members of a spiritual study group in the San Francisco Bay Area and a channeled spiritual entity who became known as 'Michael'. The teachings received from the entity were first published in book form in 1979 as Messages from Michael, by novelist Chelsea Quinn Yarbro,the first in a series of four books by Yarbro chronicling the Bay Area sessions. Since that time,the teachings purportedly from the same entity have continued to accumulate and expand via a growing number of channels based in other locations.
